Ultimate Athlete Magazine
PUBLISHER/CEO
Dear Readers, We had an exciting summer here at Ultimate Athlete Magazine. With the school year coming to a close and high school sports taking a break for the summer months, we improvised and were fortunate enough to attend a number of different types of events to bring you this summer’s issue. We mingled with surfers at competitions like the Sundown Challenge at Lido Beach hosted by the Town of Hempstead and Sundown Surf & Ski, and the NYSEA Surf Week which took place in Long Beach. The latter also included a skating event, where we took the photo featured on this issue’s cover. We were also able to get in touch with nature, spending a day out at Montauk’s Deep Hollow Ranch for some horseback riding and taking a hike through Compswogue Park’s beautiful trails. Inside, you will read all about these activities, plus so many more. As the summer comes to a close, we look forward to getting back to our roots and covering the outstanding high school programs in Northern New Jersey. Be sure to look out for our Football Previews, featuring top tier teams such as Don Bosco Prep and Bergen Catholic High School, as well as the best of the best in Volleyball, Soccer, Field Hockey and more. Time to trade in those swim suits and surf boards for helmets and shin guards!
